Today's 100 words:
I wonder if speaking of the muse can bring her back, if merely uttering her name will call creativity to an uninspired mind. I did this yesterday--spoke about her here, talked of how she'd gone silent, killed by the inner critic who does everything in his power to keep my pen from the page and my hands from the keyboard. I called her, and mere hours later she was back, bestowing upon me ideas for a new poem, word pictures appearing out of the air. If speaking of her can bring her near, I'll call her daily: Muse! Muse!

This moment
Today's 100 words:
Yesterday's "track" entry must have jogged something loose in my creative mind, as last night I found myself beginning a new poem for the first time in months. The poem has nothing at all to do with yesterday's words, which were part of a brainstorming session, yet isn't it true that it's the act of writing--no matter what words are penned--that exercises the creative mind, making it more willing to bring out new ideas and find new inspirations? Somehow the word "track" put my writing back on track, at least for now, and I'm savoring the moment.
